Complete service on my (used) new M3 - Have I missed anything?

[anom3]

I recently purchased a 2007 (2008 for you NA folks, 2007.07 production) E92 M3, 6MT.

Since it had no docs, I decided to do a complete service on the car.

Its got 67k KM on the odo, runs great.

So, what I have done thus far:

A) Oil + Filter change
B) Transmission fluid change
C) Clutch + break flush
D) Coolant flush
E) Air filter change
F) Cabin filter
G) Rear diff oil change
H) New spark plugs

Anything else you guys suggest gets done so I can in essence set a base line where to continue with maintenance?

That about covers it.

Wow, looks like the only thing you forgot was to change the air in your tires... Seriously, great list here! I "assume" that you also checked pads & rotors when you did the brake flush. That and checking the rear carrier bolt(s) are the only other things I'd look at. Congratulations on your purchase.

I'd get an oil analysis done, not sure where to have that done in Europe, but most NA members here use Blackstone.

that's a pretty complete list. The only thing I'd add is inspect the bushings and differential bolts but I'm not sure how one would do it. Maybe check torque on diff bolt?

Thanks for the pointers guys!

Yeah, on top of that I had the mechanic do a full inspection on it.

Pretty much the first thing he did.

Right rear control arm was replaced after their inspection. I saw them tugging on the wheel, there was a TINY bit of play. Probably could have skipped it but whatever let them do it.

Also one of the valve cover gaskets was replaced too... Although I spoke to the previous owner about it after they did it, and he told me, no, it was not "sweating"... About 2 months ago he added a tiny bit of oil and for got to put the oil cap back on, thus spraying oil all over.

Besides those 2 above, the mechanics own words: "There is nothing to complain about here. Everything is nice and tight as it should be.".

I did do some cosmetic stuff (interior and exterior), but thats a whole other story.

Sounds like I got pretty much everything covered... All that I will do is the power steering fluid. Might as well just to consider EVERYTHING changed.

Going to wait for a nice sunny day and post a few pics!

Looks like you did pretty much everything. My E93 has 78,000 miles and my DINAN dealer performed the same tasks when he installed my kit few weeks ago. The only thing that he did and that you don't have on your list is an engine decarbonization. Enjoy the car
